2019 Map of Jones Hill

About this map

The high-altitude landscape of Pike National Forest is defined by the steep transition from the Mosquito Range down toward the central Park County valleys. The topography is deeply incised by numerous drainages, most notably Watrous Gulch and Bear Gulch, which feed into the complex hydrology of the S Fork S Platte River. Significant water management for the era is evident in the presence of Mikles Ditch, while the namesake Jones Hill stands as a prominent central landmark. The map details an extensive network of Forest Service and county routes, including Co RD 5 and Cave Creek RD, which historically provided access to the timber and grazing lands of Long Park. Named summits like Black Mtn anchor the eastern portion of the sheet, where Twentymile Cr begins its descent through the forest.
